Fantastic Results

I've recently discovered this lotion, and can honestly say it's quickly become my holy grail of hand creams. I get dry patches on my hands, as well I have very weak and brittle nails. I've only been using this product for a few weeks but can already see a very noticeable difference. The dry patches are gone, my nails are getting stronger by the day, and my cuticles look amazing and soft! It sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave that greasy feeling like you get with most hand creams. The one bad thing I do have to say about this cream is the scent, it's very strong and potent. But it's something I can live with since seeing the amazing results I've had!

It has done wonders for my nails !!!

The reason I purchased this hand cream is because Chemist Warehouse had it on a "Buy 1 , get 1 free" Offer. I love using hand cream and I'll always jump at the chance of trying different brands. I was particularly interested in trying this product for the following reasons.

First of all, "Vaseline" is a very well known brand and I've used their body lotions before and liked them. So why not try their hand cream ? The company is known for producing good quality products.

Next, believe it or not, I was attracted to the pretty pink packaging. LOL !!! The tube comes in the average 75ml size (for a hand cream) but it is shorter and squatter; a nice size for carrying in my hand bag.

What I was most interested in, is that this product contains keratin and claims "10x stronger nails in 2 weeks", so it made up my mind for me that I definitely had to try it. To be honest, I didn't believe its claim.

The consistency of this hand cream is thinner than the Nivea Hand Creams that I use which surprised me but I do adore its lovely fragrance !!! It absorbs well into my skin and is non-greasy but when I use it, I feel that I need to apply more. So what I do is apply another brand of hand cream over it.

You may ask "Why then give this product 5 Stars ?". The reason I did is because using this hand cream has done wonders for my nails. Since using this product, my nails have grown long without , as yet, any sign of a split. On close examination, my nails look healthy and do not have that "dry look". I'm certain that it is this product that is doing the trick because nothing else has changed in my nail regime.

I am "over the moon" that I have found a hand cream that addresses the dryness and brittleness of my nails. My nails have never reached such a length before without it cracking and splitting so the keratin in this hand cream is surely doing its job !!!

I'm so delighted that when purchasing this product I had to buy 2. My nails have never looked so long and so good !!! I've made it my number one "Holy Grail" product for great looking nails and I hope that "Vaseline" never decides to take it off the shelf.

Any Tips?:

Use this product nightly on the fingernails for longer, stronger, healthy nails.

Ideal For...:

Ideal for women with dry, brittle nails that are prone to breakage.

Super Soft

I know that if I don't properly hydrate my hands and nails that they end up extremely dry and fragile. Vaseline's Healthy Hands Nail Strengthening moisturising cream not only hydrates the ski on my hands, but also helps to strengthen my nails. And seriously, who has time for broken nails and dry hands, surely not me. It is conveniently sized to keep in my handbag and is easily absorbed without feeling greasy.

Brilliant

I love this hand creme, I just recently purchased this as I needed a new hand creme and my regular one was out of stock so thought I would try this as is the same brand and was on sale.

I love the smell & texture of this cream and absorbs quickly without leaving skin greasy. I've noticed my hands are a lot softer and don't get dry as often since using this.

Ideal For...:

Dry hand

Conditions Skin And Cuticles

This is a low cost moisturiser that provides long lasting hydration to tired, dry hands and rough, dry cuticles.
It quickly restores moisture and replenishes skin, leaving my hands soft, smooth and supple.
It smells lovely and protects my skin without leaving behind an oily residue.

good for nails

I tried this handcream as I have nails that tend to split and break easily. I found that although the hand cream is a bit too oily and takes an age for it to sink into your skin I love what it does for my nails. I now have nails I can show off, they seem a lot stronger and dont break so often. As I mentioned the only down side is the hand cream, so I now use it at night and rub it in really well and sometimes put on a pair of cotton gloves so the cream
does not get all over the sheets.

Any Tips?:

Rub in well as the hand cream is a bit thick

Ideal For...:

nails that are easily broken and split

Great nail conditioner!

The nail conditioning aspect of this cream is amazing. I have thin nails that chip, peel and break easily. For the duration of my using this cream (four years, most weekdays) my nail health improved dramatically. I also found that I didn't have pesky hang nails at all during the time.

I think the hand cream is average for hand cream. It comes in a conveniently sized tube and has a light fragrance.

I have quite dry skin. All over. I had to apply this cream twice a day for my hands to feel nice during summer and three times a day during winter. It took about 45 minutes to soak in which is too long for a hand cream. Especially when you are applying it more than once a day.

***my rating is mostly because of the nail conditioning.

Ideal For...:

-People with poor nail condition
-Normal skin

A lovely bargain handcream

Comes in a 75ml plastic tube with a flip top lid.
A quality hand cream which is good value for money. The handcream is light but nourishes and moisturises hands, nails and cuticles and has a nice scent. Would recommend this to anyone.

Best in Beauty 2014 : everyday handcream!

This is a really great everyday hand lotion and has never failed to let me down! I use this because it has a fresh scent, is creamy but light and very hydrating. I rub this into my nails and cuticles and it really nourishes them. They're so cheap I usually have one at home, one in my bag and one in the car- an all-round great hand cream for an affordable price!

Cheap and effective!

This is a really great hand cream. One of the best things about this moisturiser is that it absorbs quickly so it doesn't feel like you've still got moisturiser on your hands. Once you apply it, it instantly softens your hands. I'm not sure if it does help my nails but I like how effective this hand cream is without leaving any residue behind. Must have for winter!

Best hand cream ever.

My hands are normally so dry from to much contact with water, so using this twice a day is a must, also the smell is amazing.

Oldie but a Goodie!

I recently found this in the back of my bathroom cupboard and have been using it before bed at night and now I remember why I purchased it! It leaves my skin feeling so nice in the morning, I even like to apply it a little way up my wrists as well, just to get that little bit of extra moisture into my skin. It keeps my hands soft and looking younger, I can honestly notice a difference when I don't use this.

Cheap and effective

Rich and creamy, this non greasy hand treatment carries a delicate pleasing fragrance, and deeply moisturises dry, rough hands and cuticles, whilst strengthening weakened, brittle nails. The lotion is easily absorbed and leaves behind no residue. Prior to making the switch to more expensive brands, this was my staple hand cream. It keeps hands soft, hydrated and smooth.

Any Tips?:

Apply regularly throughout the day, especially after using cleaning products, washing hands, or during winter when skin is naturally drier.

Ideal For...:

Dry, rough hands, weak nails and ragged cuticles.

Best In Beauty 2013

I've been a long term fan of this Hand Lotion, buying numerous tubes over the years.

I think one of my favourite things about this hand lotion is the scent. It's distinctive, very pleasant & leaves a lovely lingering scent on my hands.

The cream is pink, a good thickness, not too runny & not too thick & hard to rub in. It's also available everywhere, at a very affordable price.

A staple I'll continue to buy & purchase for many more years!

Bargain price

I do not use this lotion regularly but only when my hands are dry during the colder winter months. It is a very cheap product to have lying around the house in case it is needed. The lotion manages to soften the hand and cuticles, while moisturizing and hydrating very well when considering the bargain price. It is applied very easily and sinks into the skin. It is a good product to have around as even if it is not used, it will not be that great of a loss. However, I still prefer the products from some other brands.
